enh converters coming to a game near you soon.

Some prices may go up, some may go down, and some people will probably make a lot of INF riding the wave of transition from the current market status quo to whatever the market is going to become. But a year from now when everything is settled down again there will be various cheap things and various expensive things all over again and ultimately very little will be different about the market as a whole.

I've already made more billions than I'll ever use - I'm not going to let it bother me much either way...

Hmm, invest say 2M for the Kinetic Combat KD, spend 3 Enhancement Converters to get one of the other 4 with an average resale of say 65M, for a profit of around 21M per Enhancement Converter. Arcannaville and I will be doing something else that in her words "produces hundreds of millions of inf in value per converter token on average". Do you still disagree?

What a lovely, lovely idea. I fully endorse this.


Then again, I'm one of those odd players who keep whatever recipes or salvage I can use and sell the rest.

What this sounds like to me is that anything could be a potential big moneymaker depending upon when I sell it, simply because someone else would like to gamble with it for an even bigger possible profit.

You know, that doesn't sound bad to me.

I've actually found Kinetic Combats to be pretty darn good ways to make inf, sometimes EXCELLENT ways. There are times [when the Signature Arc came out and everyone was rolling in Hero Merits, frex] when the price drops down, but I don't remember it being particularly low since they upped it from "Smashing Defense" to "Smashing, Lethal, Melee all in four slots".

For me, seems like there are a lot of builds that could use them and [this is the big point] could use four or five of them per build. Adding nearcapped S/L to a build that isn't normally defense-based adds a LOT of survivability.

Are Kin Combats the best way to use your converters? I doubt it, but a set with five items where three are currently 50-150 million is about the best case outside purples and PVPs that I can think of.

I'm not saying Kinetic Combats are the most profitable or even one of the best options, but the fact is that the amount of investment that they take is so minimal that the profit % is going to be high. I'm not worried about obtaining converters assuming they can be purchased with Astral Merits, which I believe they can- I haven't been doing beta testing... On Freedom especially, Astral Merits grow on trees. I have ridiculous amounts stockpiled on my main already anyways, and getting more is a joke.

I have stocked up on a bunch that I think will have a big sale turn around and if not then I can use them on my alts. I have plenty of purple sleep and others as well that I bought cheap. I started buying pretty much when I heard about the converters sometime around Thanksgiving. I have also stocked up on other low end recipes in other purple, PVP sets that may turn a big profit. One I know will have a big turn around, by still looking at the market today.

If not those IO's I can use on the plenty of alts and new ones I make.

Its a risk. At the time i had no way to know how the market would go. And at the time it was unclear if you would have to pay for converters.


Since this announcement they have made it so they drop from kills, u can use merits, astral merits, emp merits, h/v merits so there are several ways to get them.

Also the weight of the rolls is still not set. So who knows how we will do.

It was just at the time so worth the risk. As it is i made 60X my investment already. I have even depated dumping them slowly incase. But i still have plenty of loot so i can wait.

Clearly if a few people are claiming a strategy that generates hundreds of millions per converter and converters are used in 3s for in set conversions then the IOs must be selling at 400m+ and multiple IOs in the set must be selling for that high.

This indicates pvp IOs and purples. Everyone already knew that, so is it possible there is some other group that has multiple conversion targets that sell at 400m+ ?

I've been figuring that "any purple"+ 1 or 2 converters = 200 or 300 million after the dust settles. Get the purples for 10-50 million and boom, a hundred million or so per converter.

I played with them enough on test as they are currently working.

I will take that risk and so will you.

go to test if you havent
